Shortbread Base

Peanut Butter Caramel Layer

Chocolate Ganache Layer

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F / 160°C fan and line a loaf tin with a strip of baking parchment paper.
  • Add the peanut butter and maple syrup for the shortbread base into a mixing bowl and mix until smooth. Add in your oat flour and mix until all is combined.
  • Press the dough into the bottom of the loaf tin until compact and flat. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Make the peanut caramel whilst your shortbread is baking: combine the peanut butter, maple syrup and salt for the caramel and mix until smooth - it should be thick (see video).
  • Spread the caramel onto the shortbread crust and sprinkle over the cacao nibs or nuts if using. Place in the freezer to set.
  • Melt your chocolate. Once melted - add in your milk and mix until smooth, it should be smooth and runny.
  • Remove the shortbread from the tin and slice into 8 bars.
  • Spread the chocolate over the top as well as some flaked sea salt and pop in the fridge to set.
